Visa, Airbnb Partner to Get Hosts Paid Faster with Visa Direct

Visa, the world’s leader in digital payments, and Airbnb, a leading online marketplace for lodging and experiences, today announced Airbnb Hosts in select markets will be able to access their earnings more quickly. Through Airbnb’s use of Visa Direct, Visa’s real-time push payments platform, Hosts will have an option to move money from Airbnb to a bank account associated with an eligible Visa debit card.

“Giving people access to money they’ve earned when they earn it is a powerful driver to support communities and the recovery of the global economy,” said Ruben Salazar, SVP and Global Head of Visa Direct. “Visa Direct capabilities on the Airbnb platform can help improve cashflow for Hosts, allowing them to focus on welcoming travelers eager to explore the world again.”
